Know why they abandoned the one child policy Hacky?...social impact understandable but did it achieve what they were hoping?True. They buy our coal. Or at least, they did. Can't remember if they're doing it again.
But they're still a much lower emitter per person than us, and one of the leading countries when it comes to renewables. As oppose to Australia which is the second highest emitter per person.
China's problem (one of their many problems) is that they have way too many people. They dominate the CO2 emissions purely by having too many people.
From memory, it worked too well. Population numbers dropped so much that businesses closed down. The Chinese government and military take a percentage of Chinese business profits. So it basically resulted in a loss of profits for them.Know why they abandoned the one child policy Hacky?...social impact understandable but did it achieve what they were hoping?
Be interesting to see if an "independent authority" could accurately evaluate how they are going to sustain all those billions into the future. Same goes for India I guess.From memory, it worked too well. Population numbers dropped so much that businesses closed down.

Nuclear fusion is the dream. Still seems so far away though but they are getting closer.Interesting development with a potential sustainable clean energy source using nuclear fusion as opposed to nuclear fission (how today’s nuclear power sources work). Early doors but looks promising:

Yeah, a 5 second test shows it has a way to go, but largely fueled by sea water is very promising given the abundance earth has of that.Nuclear fusion is the dream. Still seems so far away though but they are getting closer.
If it worked sustainably it would be the cleanest fuel force possible.
Is that similar to what they call the "god particle"?Nuclear fusion is the dream. Still seems so far away though but they are getting closer.

Way off. But related, somewhat.Is that similar to what they call the "god particle"?
Or am I way off?
I believe they banned vapes because they were intended to help ppl quit smoking but kids were using them to be "cool" not having smoked before, and there were cases of bad side effects too.Don't forget how he banned vapes because it would result in less tobacco tax money coming in.
The guy is the worst health minister Australia has ever had.
Yep. That was one of the things. Some kids started vaping to be cool which is a problem.I believe they banned vapes because they were intended to help ppl quit smoking but kids were using them to be "cool" not having smoked before, and there were cases of bad side effects too.
The earth is in a cooling phase and headed toward another inevitable ice age. No amount of policy or money or leftardness is going to change that.Pretty cold considering the planet is on fire aye
At what rate? When is the next ice age starting?The earth is in a cooling phase and headed toward another inevitable ice age. No amount of policy or money or leftardness is going to change that.
And the rest of the world should. It's a no brainer.That’s cool. It sounds like our government are going to embrace coal again like a lot of the rest of the world are
I’m talking about fresh water displacing salt and changing the currents and therefore the weather. It happens cyclically throughout history. We are heading toward an ice age but instead of admitting it and freaking people out they are gaslighting people and saying it’s basically humans fault.At what rate? And because we're speaking about global warming. I'm sure you're referring to surface and sea temperature not ambient
Ok. Now i understand your stance better. At what rate is this happening? Especially compared to previous cyclesI’m talking about fresh water displacing salt and changing the currents and therefore the weather. It happens cyclically throughout history. We are heading toward an ice age but instead of admitting it and freaking people out they are gaslighting people and saying it’s basically humans fault.
Then all the greta’s of the world who virtue signal ukraine and gay pride (considering ukraine doesn’t allow gay marriage how funny is that) can feel like they’re “helping”.
